Do any of you understand the revenue made by publishers that give netflix rights to show old shows. Star trek for instance. What is the model / break even point between forcing a show on a "buy a episode" to what netflix kicks back when someone watches it?
Is it a flat payment agreement, or a per showing agreement for netflix to pay publishers?
There seems to be a point where new shows will get more revenue from a network doing direct streaming or renting via zune or apple tv, then when they just turn it over / retire it to netflix.
I keep waiting for netflix to announce (or acquire, or be acquired) some sort of a premium rental capabilities. it floors me that they dont have it, so I can only assume there are legal restrictions in place preventing them from doing so.
